A Very Peculiar Case.
Florida Record

Mr.. Clay, the man who got hurt by the
Savannah, Florida s. Western railroad and
whose arm had to be amputated, has for some
time complained Of his hand hurting him.
Last Friday night he complained so much
that he could not sleep nor would he let any
one else sleep. He said his fingers (of the
amputated hand) were doubled up ard cramp-
ing, and that there was grit or sand between
them that was hurting him. He insisted on
having the hand du up from where it had
been buried, place in Il comfortable position
and the grit taken non the fingers. DIR. III.
ID. Wood, who has been nursing Mr.. Clay,
and Mrs. Clay (his sister-in-law) went to have
the hand taken up. They found the hand
exactly as Mr.. Clay had said it was; doubled
up and with grit between the fingers
1t was put into a larger box, laying
with the palm up. When they returned Mr.
Clay told them the position in which they had
left 1t. He said that while they were gone
once his arm hurt him very much, and
thought it would kill him. That occurred
while they were opening the box, having 10
use an ak to open it with, and the jarring of
the amputated limb caused the pain i'm the
man. Who can explain this? Will some of
our scientific men try 1t?

A Wife,s Devotion.

IL.
A comely face and shapely figure do not
have the same influence on the president that
such combination exertS on the average
congressman. otherwise he would probably
have signed the bill which passed both the
house and the senate to restore Capt. Alfred
Hedberg, late of the Fifteenth infantry to the
army with the rank of second lieutenant.
During the past two congresses the officers of
the senate and house. and also majority Of
the members of both bodies, have become
well acquainted with the tall stately form
and the beautiful face Of lady who during
the period mentioned has been almost 4 daily
visitor at the capitol. Her attractive style
and manners always compelled atten-
ton, and her request for an interview with Il
senator or representative was never denied.
Many persons wondered who she was and
what was the occasion of her frequent visits
to the halls of legislation. Her mission was
TO procure the restoration of her husband to
the army. He was Swede who came to the
United States in 1862 for the purpose of en-
tering the United States army. Being unable
to speak the English language he enlisted as
private and worked himself up to the grade
OF captain in the Fifteenth infantry In 1878
he was dismissed the service, after trial by
court-martial, on the charge of disposing of
government property and appropriate
ing the money for his personal
use, and conduct unbecoming an officer
and gentleman. Last Wednesday Capt.
houpoiS case caiile up III tue senate. ana IL
met with vigorous opposition from Senator
Cockrell. The proceedings of the court-mar-
tlal were read, and made rather an unfavor-
able showing against the bill. At that moment
the beautiful woman mentioned paced to aud
fro in the Marble room, nervously awaiting
the senate's decision, which was oyerwhelm-
ingly in favor of her husband. The senate
made an amendment to the bill, and nearly
all night Thursday she remained at the capf-
tol, and was finally rewarded by seeing it en-
rolled and sent to the president for his ap-
prevail. He had been fully informed on the
subject, and with the light before him he
finally declined to sign the bill, thus dashing
to the earth the hopes which the devoted wife
had cherished for such a long time

Matched Games OF Pool.

Tuesday evening Professor Wallace of
New York, and Mr.. AL Haskell of this city,
played match of q games of pool at the
City Hotel for 5000 a side. The series was
won by Haskell by score Of eight to eleven
games. At the conclusion of the match
another match was arranged between the
same players for 500 a side, Mr.. Haskell to
allow Wallace two games in a series of 81.
The contest took place at the City Hotel
billiard room yesterday afternoon in the
presence of about so spectators. The series
was won by Mr.. Haskell by a score of 16 to
10 games. The match was very close and
exciting one. Wallace won games as fol-
lows: 1st, 4th, 9th, 18th, 10th, 18th, 14th,
15th 10th, 18th, 10Th, 23rd and 2Sth. These
games with the two given by Mr.. Haskell,
left the series tied on the Both game The
decisive game was played amid great excite
ment, but it finally resulted in favor OF
Haskell. The time of playing the series of
games was two hours and thirty minutes.
Mr.. Charles Call acted very acceptably in the
position of referee. Besides the stake money
of $500, quite a sum of money changed
hands in outside sbets. Mr.. Haskell is a
Portland boy, who has lately met some of
the best of the pool players of the country.
His recent playing in Boston proves that he
ranks among the best of the professional
pool players in the New England States.

Lendall g. Foote has served a term in the
State prison for stealing quantity of lead
pipe in this city some years ago. Lately he
went to w. II. Sanborn & Co., and bought
Sal worth of furniture on credit, claiming to
be employed by the Portland Steam Packet

himself as employed by the Portland Com
pany. To Mr.. Littlefield he gave the name
of Hoof, and said he had bought some wood
and coal of him on credit, at former period
and wished to purchase, also on credit, a
half ton of coal and two feet of wood. Mr..
Foote was employed by Mr.. Higgins, and
from him he stole wrench and other tools.
He also took the works of clock from the
Friendly Inn. All these goods we have men,

MeMsnaner AdvertIsing.

In 1865 Messrs. George P. Rowell & Co., of
New York organized an Office for the recep-
ton and forwarding of advertisements for
American newspapers, and they have long
had a more thoroughly perfected system, and
better facilities for conducting the necessary
negotiations and watching the fulfllment Of
advertising contracts. than has elsewhere
ever been attempted.
The American Newspaper Directory which
has long been the standard work of its kind,
is now passing through its nineteenth annu-
al revision. But the Directory now contains
the names of $4,000 newspapers, while those
which general advertiser specially needs
do not number much over Thousand. 1t is
said to be easy to expend hundred thous-
and dollars for three months advertising in
thousand selected papers. To aid the
advertiser in taking his selection the Messrs
Rowell have just issued little book which,
beginning with a list of sixteen leading daily
newspapers in the city of New York, next
gives selection of never more than six
dailies issued in each American city having
population OF more than one hundred and
fifty thousand. Following this comes Judi
cious catalogue of papers in places having
more than twenty thousand population.
The large single group in the book is
called 1.-THE Best List Of Local Newspa-
pers," every paper named on it being Sc
lected because either its daily or weekly edi-
ton is the mostfyidely circulated or infuen-
tial, published at an important town. city or
country seat. This list covers every State,
Territory, District and Province of the
United States and Canada, and represents
every country seat having population great:
er than 5000 from Halifax to San Diego from
Florida to British Columbia. 1t is hardly nee
essary to say that the Portland Daily PRESS
will be found in this collection.

Tonight Mr.. Sol Smith Russell will appear
in his new play, "Pa," at City Hall. 1t is
stated that the new part gives Mr.. Russell
ample scope for the introduction of his
quaint peculiarities and bright songs. The
company selected for the cast of "Pa" is of
necessity the best that Mr.. Russell has called
together, as thorough competeneyis required
in each individual member, the parts in the
play being of equal strength. The special
ties, incidental music and comic songs are
entirely fresh, and expressly written for this
production. Mr.. Russell feels assured that
in PA he has q performance that will re-
